Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a radio device with multi-resonance type antennas and an electronic apparatus with the same installed. The technical effects of the invention include reducing impedance mismatching, achieving better performance, and promoting multi-resonance to improve bandwidth. The folded dipole antenna and folded monopole antenna are discussed, and the use of these antennas in a compact apparatus is examined. The invention also includes a configuration of a note type personal computer with a radio communication antenna and a construction in which a meander portion is used.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, impedance mismatching is generated between the antenna and a power supply circuit to cause reduction of performance in some cases.
However, the dipole antenna is unsuitable for an antenna built in a compact apparatus since it is essentially easy to increase in shape, and thus the dipole antenna is folded in more complicated shape.
The dipole antenna is also disadvantageous in that the antenna elements become largely complicated.

first embodiment

[0031]FIGS. 1A and 1B are respectively a perspective view showing a note type personal computer (PC) as an electronic apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and a plan view showing a radio communication antenna accommodated in an envelope case of a displaying portion of the note type PC shown in FIG. 1A

Construction of Note Type PC 1

[0032]A note type PC 1, as shown in FIG. 1A, is constituted by a displaying portion 10 and a main body 20 when being roughly classified. In the first embodiment, the displaying portion 10 is a liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal panel 11, and has radio communication antennas 12A and 12B in an upper portion and a side portion of the liquid crystal panel 11, respectively. In addition, the display portion 10 and the main body 20 are openably and closeably constructed.

[0033]The main body 20 has radio communication modules 21A and 21B as power supply circuits each of which serves to generate a high-frequency signa...

second embodiment

[0048]FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a radio communication antenna according to a second embodiment of the present invention. At that, in the following description, the portions having the same constructions and functions as those of the first embodiment are designated with the same reference numerals, respectively.

[0049]The radio communication antenna 12A has a construction in which the frequency matching portion 126 described in the first embodiment is provided as an extension from the outward path of the folded monopole antenna 120. With this construction, the outward path of the folded monopole antenna 120 and the frequency matching portion 126 have the same width and are disposed in one straight line.

[0050]According to the second embodiment described above, provision of the frequency matching portion equal in straight line to the outward path portion in the folded monopole antenna 120 results in that even when there is a disposition restriction in the mounting region of the ante...

third embodiment

[0053]FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C are respectively a plan view showing a radio communication antenna according to a third embodiment of the present invention, a plan view showing a construction in which a meander portion shown in FIG. 4A is provided on a stub side, and a plan view showing a construction in which the meander portion shown in FIG. 4A is provided on a head side of a frequency matching portion.

[0054]The radio communication antenna 12A has a construction in which a portion 127 folded in meander-like shape (hereinafter referred to as “a meander portion 127”) is added to the frequency matching portion 126 described in the second embodiment. With this construction, the outward path of the folded monopole antenna 120 and the frequency matching portion 126 are formed with the same width. Alternatively, the meander portion 127 can be provided on a side near the stub 123 as shown in FIG. 4B, or can be provided on a side away from the stub 123 as shown in FIG. 4C.

Abstract

The invention provides a radio device in which multi-resonance promotion and impedance adjustment can be readily performed and a restriction in a mounting space can be dissolved, and an electronic apparatus having the same installed therein. Provision of a stub (123) having a large area and serving as a frequency matching portion as well in a folded monopole antenna (120) results in that a conductor area can be increased, and a resonance frequency can be shifted to lower frequencies. In addition, a frequency of a radio communication antenna can be readily adjusted because the resonance frequency is adjusted by cutting the stub (123).

Description

[0001]The present application is based on Japanese patent application No. 2005-335003, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]One embodiment of the invention relates to a radio device and an electronic apparatus having the same installed therein, and more particularly to a radio device having multi-resonance type antennas, and an electronic apparatus having the same installed therein.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]In recent years, various terminals having respective radio devices installed therein have come into wide use. Radio communication antennas installed in these terminals, respectively, are proceeding from whip type antennas which have been widely adopted to built-in antennas. Use of the built-in antenna offers such advantages that the built-in antenna is more readily handled in use and accommodation than the whip type antenna is handled, and the degree of freedom for a chassis design increases, and so for...
